AudioQuest Angel Interconnect Cable
Best premium extension for high-end portable audio enthusiasts.
Experience uncompromising audio performance with the AudioQuest Angel interconnect cable. This premium analog cable features solid 100% Perfect-Surface Silver (PSS) conductors for exceptional clarity and dynamic contrast. It utilizes FEP Air-Tube insulation to minimize energy absorption and distortion. The Dielectric-Bias System (DBS) organizes insulation molecules, reducing time-delay issues and revealing a blacker background with enhanced detail. A Carbon-Based 3-Layer Noise-Dissipation System (NDS) prevents captured RF interference from affecting the ground reference. The asymmetrical double-balanced geometry ensures a richer, more dynamic sound. This specific model terminates in a 3.5mm female jack to a 3.5mm male plug.

Know before you buy
This specific configuration is typically used as an extension cable for headphones or to connect portable audio devices to an amplifier or car auxiliary input that requires a male-to-female connection.
Perfect-Surface Silver is AudioQuest's highest-purity conductor. It minimizes graininess and distortion caused by impurities in the metal, resulting in a cleaner, more detailed, and smoother high-frequency response.
The DBS creates a stable electrostatic field that organizes the insulation molecules before the signal even passes through the cable. This reduces time-delay distortion, which helps the music sound more focused and creates a quieter background.
The NDS is designed to prevent radio-frequency interference from reaching the ground reference of your equipment. You will notice the biggest benefit in environments with high levels of electronic noise, where it helps maintain a cleaner, more precise soundstage.
While the Angel cable is built with high-end materials like FEP Air-Tubes, it is designed to be durable. However, due to the sophisticated internal geometry and the DBS battery pack, it is slightly stiffer than standard consumer cables and is best suited for high-fidelity home or desktop listening setups.
